OOTS #1180 - The Discussion Thread

[BasiliskSoldier]

Don't you find odd that, at the crater scene, the only member of the OOTS that Tarquin decides to spare, besides his son Elan, is the other white human?

I agree that there's some subtext of Tarquin representing older, more rigid and less diverse methods of storytelling, but that is a stretch.

I'll skip the Death of the author, for now, because I doubt I have any novel opinions on it, so I'll talk about the more interesting speculation.

Durkon and his family/Hilgya and Kudzu make up the last loose end so they will definitely be dealt with, the Thundershield stuff can be mostly resolved in a goodbye strip and one word, but I have no clue what will happen with Hilgya besides we probably won't see her after this book until the final denouement, but that stuff will be dealt with next strip or the one after.

So predictions for the final strips of the book:
1181: Minrah dealing with her stuff
1182: Hilgya and Kudzu dealt with
1183: Thundershield goodbye (also getting on the Mechane)
1184: Team Evil
1185: Final cliffhanger, seeing IFCC, Sapphire Guard, more of Team Evil, Gobbotopia, Girard's Rift, Redmountain Rift, Lirian's rift or New Player (New Player could include characters interacting with the previous two rifts).

I think Minrah's going to deal with her stuff off-screen, and we'll get three strips dedicated to Hilgya, Kudzu and Sidgi.

As far as the cliffhanger, I think it'll either be:

Team Evil finding the gate or Right-Eye's Daughter being introduced, which is the one I support but also probably the less likely of the two.
